| The organization known as the Shadow Thieves is the largest and most prosperous thieves' guild in all of Faerūn. Its success is derived from its system of interlocking guilds, each dedicated to the twin goals of profit and power. From the organization's stronghold in Amn, the series of guilds controls the lion's share of all criminal operations along the Sword Coast, and it also reaches into many other parts of Faerūn. As a member of the Shadow Thieves' guild, a Shadow Thief of Amn knows only her own minions, her coworkers, and her superiors. The web of secrecy preserves the organization, because members who are captured can sell out only a few others.
A character can achieve a maximum of 5 levels in the Shadow Thief of Amn prestige class.
